Quite often the pattern used for setting up and transferring a synchronous SPI
transaction looks very much like the following:
struct spi_message msg;
struct spi_transfer xfers[] = {
...
};
spi_message_init(&msg);
spi_message_add_tail(&xfers[0], &msg);
...
spi_message_add_tail(&xfers[ARRAY_SIZE(xfers) - 1], &msg);
ret = spi_sync(&msg);
This patch adds two new helper functions for handling this case. The first
helper function spi_message_init_with_transfers() takes a spi_message and an
array of spi_transfers. It will initialize the message and then call
spi_message_add_tail() for each transfer in the array. E.g. the following
spi_message_init(&msg);
spi_message_add_tail(&xfers[0], &msg);
...
spi_message_add_tail(&xfers[ARRAY_SIZE(xfers) - 1], &msg);
can be rewritten as
spi_message_init_with_transfers(&msg, xfers, ARRAY_SIZE(xfers));
The second function spi_sync_transfer() takes a SPI device and an array of
spi_transfers. It will allocate a new spi_message (on the stack) and add all
transfers in the array to the message. Finally it will call spi_sync() on the
message.
E.g. the follwing
struct spi_message msg;
struct spi_transfer xfers[] = {
...
};
spi_message_init(&msg);
spi_message_add_tail(&xfers[0], &msg);
...
spi_message_add_tail(&xfers[ARRAY_SIZE(xfers) - 1], &msg);
ret = spi_sync(spi, &msg);
can be rewritten as
struct spi_transfer xfers[] = {
...
};
ret = spi_sync_transfer(spi, xfers, ARRAY_SIZE(xfers));
A coccinelle script to find such instances will follow.
